There are many unique and surprising things in India that make us think. One such interesting story is of a railway station in Uttar Pradesh, where when a train stops, it stands on the land of two different districts at the same time.

This strange railway station is named Bhilwai (bhilwai)This station is built on the border of Basti and Sant Kabir Nagar districts of Uttar Pradesh in such a way that its platform comes in half one district and the rest of the half in the other.

The most funny thing is when a long train stops here. At that time, the engine of the train is within the border of Sant Kabir Nagar district, while the last box of the train, ie the guard of the guard stands in the border of Basti district. Passengers are often surprised to see this unique view and discuss it among themselves.

However, this station is geographically divided into two districts, but all its administrative work is done under Basti district. When you buy tickets from here, the station code is written on it ‘Biwi (BV) and District Basti. This station falls on the Lucknow-Gorakhpur main line of the Northeast Railway.

So the next time you pass through this route and stop at your train at Bhilavai station, remember that you are standing on the outskirts of two districts in a single moment and witnessing a unique experience.
